Some months before, my husband, three children and I had casually unzipped and discarded our comfortable Australian lifestyle and slipped on life in the country of haute couture. On arrival, there was no celebrity designer waiting for us, ready to pin and fit our new life to us; so we threw it on and wore it loosely, tightly, uncomfortably, any old how—until we learned for ourselves how to trim, hem and stitch à la française. This book is testament to the joyous, but not always easy, journey that we took along the way.

Weaving a French Life: An Australian story takes up the story as Catherine returns to Australia with her family. Is she able to close their emotional French chapter or does turning the page take her straight back to France? Join her as she delves into the origins of her French connection and continues to weave the colourful French threads that have characterised her life.
